Chapter 90: Chapter 80: Hard to Bear_1

Remembering how he gained proficiency in fencing after 20 attempts, Li Ming narrowed his eyes and decided to prioritize mastering his skill for the time being.

“However, perhaps adding one more junior technique would help me breakthrough faster.”

As the thought crossed his mind, Li Ming was about to return to try if he could add the legendary backhand spear into his skill list, but suddenly saw a virtuous woman gracefully walking out from the villa.

“Brother Ming, let me walk you out.”

Seeing Li Ming looking back at her, Liu Li, who had followed him out from the villa, adjusted her hair and said to him with a tender and warm voice.

Her hair was done up, loosely piled on the back of her head. She was wearing a light-colored, formal short dress, revealing part of her calves and knees. The virtuous aura was in full bloom, as she stood outside the villa, just like a gentle sister next door.

She must have just taken a bath, the unpleasant scent of mountain flowers on her was faint. Standing under the sun, the hem of her skirt cast a shadow above her knees. The skin near her neck was strikingly fair against the sunlight.

Li Ming gritted his teeth, feeling a surge of frustration that was about to explode from within him.

Initially, he really did not want to mess with her, but his conversation with Chen Qiang left him a bit restless. Adding the restlessness of his offspring, he now felt like he could not hold back anymore.

So, why should I hold back?

Ah, wrong, why should I spare her?

For Xu Xiu, because he saw that she was a pretty woman accustomed to being pampered and spoiled, he had the desire, but he was willing to hold back and give her time to adjust.

When the time is right, he would let her willingly accept his affection, and also punish her with a stick for her attitude these past few days.

But this woman…

Feeling an itch in his heart, Li Ming couldn’t help but wave at her.

Seeing Li Ming waving at her, Liu Li quickly approached with a gentle smile, faithfully walked up to him, and stood a mere ten centimeters in front of him, staring at Li Ming without blinking, with a virtuous expression on her face.

“Your name is Liu Li, right? I would like to ask you something. Can you tell me about the situation in the gathering place? Who are those people with weapons, and who are in charge? The more detailed, the better.”

Seeing Liu Li standing a bit too close, Li Ming quickly extended his hand to stop her from getting any closer, and then seriously asked.

“Ah, Brother Ming is asking about this. Those men help with patrolling. Chen Zhuang and Dwarf Monkey are mainly in charge. They…”

Liu Li’s legs trembled as Li Ming stopped her. She quickly stabilized herself and patiently answered, while they walked towards the patrolling car. As she was speaking, she took a deep breath, stood by the car, and quickly held onto the frame.

“……”

Although fast food may not be as delicious as a carefully prepared feast, it certainly fills you up.

After finishing his meal, Li Ming felt as if the fire that was about to explode had dissipated significantly. He felt much more amiable.

“Hurry back and freshen up for dinner. They must be anxiously waiting.”

Li Ming spoke calmly and cheerfully to the virtuous woman before him, then drove off in the patrol car.

Liu Li nodded, watched the man drive away, silently wiped away her tears, and turned back into the villa. When she reached the hall and saw that no one had touched the food, they were all waiting for her with hungry eyes.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Liu Li hurried to go to the restroom. When she returned, she repeatedly apologized for holding up everyone’s meal, and started eating.

During the meal, Liu Li’s mind was a little chaotic. She silently thought, why did Li Ming leave so abruptly? Did he think she was cheap for offering herself so willingly…

Chen Qiang reassured everyone it was alright while wolfing down his meal, couldn’t help muttering in his heart, having just worn out Xu Xiu and having had the fast food, Li Ming, an ability user, is really something else.

Recalling what he had talked about with Li Ming, Chen Qiang sneakily glanced at Cao Li and started eating even faster.

I too, have someone influential to rely on!

………

[Left Six]Villa, Li Ming drove the patrol car to the villa’s entrance and got out. Early out of bed and guarding the villa’s entrance, Xu Xiu quickly came over to open the gate for him upon his arrival.

“Ming… Brother Ming, you’re back.”

Xu Xiu’s face turned red. She was originally called over to work, but she fell asleep before she could start, and her sleep was sweet.

When she woke up, she was still somewhat dazed and instinctively looked for her husband, almost asking, “Where’s my husband?”

As she sat on the sofa and looked at the two uncomfortable women beside her, it took her a while to realize the current situation.

The world had ended.

She and her husband were starving.

Her husband, in a bid for survival and to prevent her from being violated by too many men, had removed the ugly disguise from her face and handed her over to a man named Li Ming.

This… was his villa.

She had left her home and came to this unfamiliar man’s house.

Recalling everything, the awake Xu Xiu glanced at the sun outside, felt embarrassed, and quickly stood up from the sofa, continuously apologizing to the two women beside her.

To her surprise, their attitudes were quite friendly. They not only told her not to apologize too much but also kindly offered her some sweet soup to drink, took a break, and chatted casually with her about home stuff.

After chatting for a while, Xu Xiu learned that they were unwell, so she volunteered to wait outside the door for Li Ming to return and open the villa’s gate for him.

She waited all the way till now and seeing Li Ming return, she hurried over to open the door for Li Ming.

However, since she hadn’t really interacted with Li Ming before, calling the unfamiliar man “brother” felt unnatural for her. Considering the help that this man had provided for her, she paused for a moment and then called out.

Although it was somewhat embarrassing, she felt a lot more comfortable after she called out.

“Um, is lunch ready?”

Li Ming nodded at the woman and asked calmly.

“It’s ready. The aunties are warming up the food, awaiting your arrival.”

Xu Xiu promptly responded. After Li Ming approached and she went to close the door, she continued talking while following Li Ming’s footsteps.

“Alright, come eat with us.”

Li Ming replied softly, still thinking about the gathering area, leading the woman who was following him upstairs where Liu Fang happened to be carrying a pot of fish soup.

“Li Ming is back. I’ve reheated the fish soup. Let’s sit, let’s sit.”

Seeing Li Ming look her way, Liu Fang promptly spoke with a smile. Li Ming nodded and sat down at the table with Xu Xiu.

“Honey, how are things outside?”

Zhang Yuan sat next to Li Ming, resting her head on his shoulder, aware that he went out to work in the morning, so she asked softly.

“Pretty good, just that they’re too hungry, lacking energy and spirit. After a couple of days of eating well and doing some light work to recuperate, they should be fine. But no matter what, the plot of land at the [Right Three]Villa will be cleaned up today.”

Li Ming stroked Zhang Yuan’s leg and spoke softly, then turned to Xu Xiu beside him: “Xu Xiu, can you tell me about the gathering place, like about the two people managing the place?”

“Ah, sure. One of them is called Chen Zhuang, the other is called Aihou. They’re in charge of the gathering place. Oh, they both have superpowers. Chen Zhuang’s skin can become as hard as iron, and Aihou is so fast that the eyes can barely keep up… ”

Xu Xiu had just walked in when Liu Fang pulled her to sit right beside Li Ming. Xu Xiu was still stiffly struggling with whether it was appropriate for her to take this place, which belonged to the female owner, when she heard Li Ming’s question and immediately turned around to answer.

While answering, she was a little perplexed. As a worker, she thought she should take the seat designated by her boss and not overthink. This thought eased her mind, and she began to think carefully about the two managers.

After hearing Chen Qiang’s and Liu Li’s remarks, Li Ming had some impression of the gathering place. However, one needs to shop around when buying grocery, let alone such crucial matters. The more firsthand accounts from different people, the more helpful it is for him.
